The 11th annual Hilton Head Island Motoring Festival & Concours d’Elegance will include major international names in automotive collecting and racing when it returns Oct. 26 to Nov. 4.

Among those names are Frank and Milli Ricciardelli of Monmouth Beach, N.J., who have been selected to receive the first Honored Collector title.

The Ricciardellis’ 1933 Rolls-Royce Coupe took home the “Best in Show” honor at the 2009 event.

To celebrate their award, the Ricciardellis have chosen four automobiles that represent their collection. They will be on display at the festival Nov. 3 and 4, in the Motoring Midway show field. It will include a 1926 Hispano Suiza Cabriolet H6B, a 1930 Cadillac V16 Convertible, a 1935 Duesenberg J-Dual Cowl Phaeton and a 1938 Jaguar SS Coupe.

“We couldn’t be more elated to have Frank and Milli accept this inaugural honor,” said Paul Doerring, Chairman Emeritus and one of the founders of the festival. “Their support, passion and contributions to the automobile collector hobby is what makes this event, and many others, what they are. We are excited about the vehicles they have selected to showcase at this year’s event and think the crowds will be blown away.”
